Raptor Ridge’s Tempranillo is sourced from the warmer climes of Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Valley. Folin Vineyard is situated at high elevation (about 2000’) where evening coolness helps temper against Southern Oregon’s heat-filled days. The intent behind our version is to demonstrate a wine that is unencumbered by excessive over-ripeness or manipulation. Similar to the Spanish Reserva tradition, this wine over-vintaged in barrel for two years, and was released after being held in bottle for two more years.
